Those things are pretty awful, though, specifically that company (Robocoin) as they require pretty much all of your personal information, including fingerprints and passport, making the experience very obnoxious. I've heard more stories of Bitcoin ATMs making people hate Bitcoin more than love it because the ATM itself sucks.

Why would Bitcoin crash? They're not selling it on an exchange, they're auctioning the coins. No one with enough money to buy those coins is simultaneously stupid enough to liquidate them on an exchange.

Bitcoin seems to be the most popular form of payment on the deepweb for obvious reasons. I have been browsing it out of curiosity and have already seen some pretty fucked up shit. Some things (like hired hitmen) seem like scams, actually... Most of it seems like scams.

Unlikely, since that would be an unnecessarily dangerous way to scam somebody.

There are very, very few actual "hitmen" because the scenario usually runs like this: Two fat wankers meet in jail. Fat wankers leave jail. One fat wanker thinks his wife has been cheating. Asks the other fat wanker to kill her. He does. Two fat wankers go back to jail. The end.

Until I see an actual new story where a hitman has been paid by bitcoin (and they must have recieved a fair few payments now) then imma call grade A bullshit.
